Sarafina Weasley: Book Six

Gryffindor Vs Slytherin

Sarafina's POV

I was walking through the castle mumbling under my breath about what a jerk Ron is. Just because he's never had a girlfriend, doesn't mean he can talk shit about mine or Ginny's love life. "Miss Weasley" someone says and I turn to see Snape.

"Professor Snape" I say.

"Why are you walking the corridors after hours?" he asks me.

"I have a meeting with Dumbledore" I lie blocking my thoughts.

"Now Miss Weasley, I thought you knew not to lie to me" he says smirking.

"I don't know what you're..." I try to protest.

"I just came from seeing the head master, he mentioned nothing about seeing you tonight" he states.

"Fine, I had a fight with my twin and needed a break from him" I tell him.

"Even so, it's not safe to wonder the castle at night. Return to your dorm, you have a quidditch match in a couple of days. I'm sure Potter has you training hard" he states.

"Yeah he does" I mumble. "Good night Professor and good luck to your team. They'll need it" I tell him smirking and leave. I return to my dorm and go to sleep.

(First Quidditch Match)

I wake up and get dressed for the match. Before going downstairs with Ginny, Demelza and the beaters. They're all nervous about their first match. At least Ginny has played one before. But the other three haven't. "Don't worry guys, you'll all do great" I tell them smiling.

"She's right and it's perfect weather for the match" Ginny adds.

"Are you going to make the play calls?" Demelza asks me.

"Actually I thought I'd let Ginny do that" I state.

"Me?" Ginny asks surprised.

"Yes, I'm only on the team until Katie recovers. This is her final year, so next year you'll be head chaser. This will be good practice" I tell her.

"But against Slytherin? Shouldn't the person with the most experience make the calls" she says unsure.

"You'll do great Ginny, Sara taught you everything you know" Demelza tells her.

"You're a natural flier" Ritchie states.

"Have amazing instincts" Jimmy adds.

"See, I'm not the only one who believe in you" I tell her smiling.

"Ok, I'll call the plays" she says confidently.

"There's the sister I know" I say smiling.

"Hey Fina, did you hear Draco's not playing today?" she asks me and I frown. "Apparently he's unwell, so Harper is going to be seeker today for Slytherin" she states. "As well as one of the chasers is off to, after taking a bludger to the head" she adds.

"I heard about that, but I didn't know Draco was ill" I say concerned. "I should go check on him" I state.

"The match is going to start soon, we have to head down to the pitch" Demelza tells me.

"You can check on him after" Ginny assures me.

"Ok, lets go. Harry and Ron are already leaving" I tell them. We all get up and leave following them.

"Conditions look ideal" Ginny tells Harry as we join them.

"And guess what? That Slytherin Chaser Vaisey -- he took a Bludger in the head yesterday during their practice, and he's too sore to play" I tell them.

"Malfoy has gone off sick too" Ginny adds.

"What?" Harry asks turning to face Ginny. "He's ill? What's wrong with him?" he demand.

"No idea, but it's great for us" Ginny tells him.

"They're playing Harper instead; he's in my year and he's an idiot" I explain smiling. He smiles and goes back to talking to Ron as we reach the changing room. I check my arm and leg pads, making sure they're all secure. We soon all go onto the pitch together.

We're meet by tumultuous roars and boos. One end of the stadium was solid red and gold; the other, a sea of green and silver. Many Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws had taken sides too. Harry stepped up to Madam Hooch, who was standing ready to release the balls from the crate.

"Captains, shake hands" she instructs. They shake hands and return to their respected teams. "Mount your brooms. On the whistle. . . three. . . two. . . one. . ." she blows the whistle and we take off. Slytherin take possession of the quaffle and head for the goal. Ron blocks it and I take possession.

I'm heading for the goal as two slytherin chasers close in from both sides. "Sara, DQ!" Ginny shouts and I smirk. I've always been the drift queen. I speed up waiting for the perfect chance to strike. Just as I pass the slytherin goal I turn left sharply drifting through the air. I stop suddenly in front of the goals and throw the quaffle through the centre hope.

"And Weasley scores, she still remains the drifting queen. She'd give Skye Parkin a run for her money" the announcer states. I pass Ginny and high five her. She steals the quaffle and reverse passes it to Demelza. Who heads for goal and scores ten points getting the ball through the left hoop with a curve ball.

With half an hour of the game gone, Gryffindor were leading sixty points to zero. Ron having made some truly spectacular saves, some by the very tips of his gloves. Ginny having scored four of Gryffindor's six goals. I'm so proud of my siblings. Coote, aimed a Bludger at Harper, who was just passing Harry in the opposite direction. I was pleased to hear the dull thunk that meant the Bludger had found its mark.

Harry then catches the snitch and the others all hug him. But I head for the commentary box not slowing down. I ram into Zacharias Smith. Serves him right for all the crap he was saying about the Gryffindor team during the match. Professor McGonagall goes to scold me. "Forgot to brake, Professor, sorry" I tell her sheepishly.

"Party in the common room!" Seamus shouts.

"Gotta go, see you in class" I say and take off before she can scold me. Instead of going to the common room, I go in search of Blaise. I find him heading for the Slytherin changing room. "Blaise!" I shout and he looks at me confused. But he walks over anyway.

"Congrats" he says sheepishly.

"Thanks, is Draco ok? Why wasn't he playing?" I ask him concerned.

"No idea, he sent a message to the captain saying he was sick and couldn't play today. As far as I know though he's not in the hospital wing. Do you know what's wrong with him?" he asks me.

"No, but I'm gonna go look for him. Thanks for telling me this" I tell him before leaving. I return to the castle and go to my dorm. I shower and change out of my quidditch robes. Before heading for the room of Requirement.
